title: [Electrocardiographic symptom-signal correspondence in Holter records].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the correspondence symptom-sign in 24-hours ambulatory electrocardiography records.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective study.
  
  
  METHODS
  Pulido Valente Hospital (Lisbon). Serviço de Cardiologia. Department of Ambulatory Electrocardiography.
  
  
  METHODS
  80 patients, who made 24-hours ambulatory electrocardiography and wrote correctly the diary. Two observators analysed the correspondence symptom-sign of 269 symptomatic moments, 10 minutes before and after the symptom by reviewing the compressed print.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We found correspondence symptom-sign in 50% of the symptomatic moments. The correspondence change with the symptom type (increased for palpitations and dyspnea), the presence of Cardiopathy (increased for chest pain and dyspnea in patients with cardiopathy) type of cardiopathy (increased in patients with Mitral Valve Prolapse and Valvular disease) and expression used by the patient.
